A shocking video has been released on Youtube showing different Party Poker player accounts unable to see the same players. This means that a certain winning player account is unable to see, sit down, or play against a certain juicy fish available in the other game. This segregation means that the winning player can only choose from certain tables filled with other less juicy games. What's more Party Poker announced to the markets that they had 'lobby' based technology to reduce bum hunting and other efforts to target fish so this would seem to tie in nicely.
This kind of step by poker rooms is not surprising given that the poker economy has declined significantly following the effective removal of most of the American market from the game. The remaining rooms are fighting over a smaller and smaller player pool. When you look at a table at 25c/50c blind 6-max on a lot of rooms the tables are full of tight Eastern Europeans. It doesn't take a genius to figure out they aren't depositing much money because incomes aren't that high in those countries. There simply aren't enough 'fish' depositing from the USA and other similar countries for tighter players to feed on. Now if only there was a way you could force those players to stay together and play each other and leave the fish hidden in the lobby... oh wait... it could be on Party Poker? Only time will tell.
